TufteGraph is a JQuery Plugin that generates beautiful (stacked) bar charts. It works in conjunction with the JQuery enumerable plugin. The graphs can be styled via CSS. If you are looking for beautiful colors you want to use on the charts, you can find some at colourlovers.com.
Why is it different from other JavaScript charting libraries?
JQuery Multi Level Popup Menu enhances arbitrary links on your page with multi level powers. Using this script, you can associate a multi level drop down menu to any link on the page. Moving the mouse over the link activates the menu to be shown beside it. The menus are SEO friendly, each one being defined as a nested <ul> on the page.
To remain in view, the sub-menus reposition themselves when too close to the right or bottom edges of the browser window. The expand animation speed can be customized, as well as the delay before each menu and it’s sub-menus appear / disappear when the mouse rolls on and out of them.
UKI, a fast and simple UI KIT for desktop-like web applications, comes with a rich view-component library ranging from Slider to List and SplitPane. By using progressive rendering, this JavaScript user interface toolkit can render 30k+ lists and (complex client side searchable) tables most instantly.
UKI is very simple to setup. You do not need builders to install, no dependencies to manage and no CSS to include. All you have to do is add the <script> tag to your HTML.
While uki can occupy the whole browser window it feels perfectly OK in a small <div> in your sidebar. Just use .attachTo( myDiv ) for any widget you want to add.
There is no AJAX or data storage layer code in UKI. It only does layout, but it does it well.
Packt Publishing sent me a copy of PHP and script.aculo.us Web 2.0 Application Interfaces by Sridhar Rao, asking me to write a review of this book. I was quite excited about this opportunity, being the first time when a modern publishing company is asking my opinion regarding one of the books from their collection.
As both the title and the subtitle suggest, this book is meant for PHP and AJAX developers. Since there are quite some readers of this blog that use these technologies in their web applications, I have accepted the PacktPub’s invitation.
This book comprises of 13 chapters, each being hand-crafted to make sure that developers can learn and master the art of making beautiful web applications. No chapter is left without code snippets in it. The book provides a URL address where you can download the code samples. Moreover, the downloadable files contain instructions on how to use them.
Meerkat, a JQuery Plugin created by Jarod Taylor, can be used as a simple promotional tool, a roost for advertisements, or even as an alternative to a splash or entry page. Meerkat slides or fades in from the top or bottom of the browser window and remains in its fixed position while the rest of the page is scrolled normally. It’s unobtrusive, cross-browser compatible, and degrades gracefully if Javascript has been disabled.
